She downplayed the beef by saying it’s “no big deal,” but followed up by telling Patrick that she wouldn’t say hello to Andrews if she walked in the room. Beadle wouldn’t reveal the origin of her dislike for her former ESPN colleague, but spoke about a recent “awkward” encounter in an elevator.

I love how Beadle keeps it real and refuses to be fake, but she sure maintains a haughty attitude about Dancing With The Stars for someone who used to star in a television show with Colin Cowherd.

Dan Patrick: Could you interview Erin Andrews for your job?

Beadle: I could but I don’t know why I’d want to.

DP: Well, when she did Dancing with the Stars.

Beadle: I try not to do those shows. Sure, if they made me. It would definitely be must-see TV, I’m sure.

DP: But what happened? Could you take her if you had to?

Beadle: You know what? I honestly believe that this goes back to a misunderstanding and that’s what everything grew out of. But in the course of that misunderstanding having been done, bad stuff has happened and so now it’s just a nothing. It’s like Tiger and Serg. We don’t all have to like each other. It’s not that big of a deal.

DP: Yeah but it’s pretty intense with you and ..

Beadle: But it really isn’t. She’s really not a relevant part of my world. And I don’t mean that in a jerk way. She’s just not part of my every day life.

DP: Would you say hello [if you saw her]?

Beadle: I’m not that great at that. Probably not. We’ve been in an elevator before and it was awkward.

DP: Just you two?

Beadle: And some person with her.

DP: How many floors?

Beadle: I’m not sure.

DP: Did you get out on a floor that you weren’t going to go to?

Beadle: No, I went to my floor. She got out first.

DP: Nothing was said?

Beadle: Uhhh, she said something to her friend as she got off but I said nothing. I looked at the numbers. I’m not good at fake. You guys may or may not know that by now but I’d rather say nothing than pretend. It’s just easier.

DP: You girls gotta get along.

Beadle: No we don’t (laughs). I have a ton of great girlfriends in this business. There’s one that we don’t get along and it turns into a catfight. But it really isn’t.
